i have 15 amp breakers,what do ther people have?i have alot running on the outlet,im thinking of getting an electrician to upgrade to 20 amp?
 
No.
I used two 15 amp breakers and ran two separate lines.
Each line runs to two switch boxes that hold four switched receptacles each. Giving me eight switched receptacles on each breaker.
It may be overkill, but that's better than overloading a circuit.

that is not going to be as easy as you think.................its not as simple as pulling out the 15 amp break and putting in a 20....new wire new recpticles....gonna cost you a lot of money you might not have to spend...
if you cct breaker has not tripped you are more than likely ok (unless you have a fedreal pioneer breaker) you can have for example 30 different things plugged into a circut...so long as they dont equal 12.5 amps....
